    Protect your friend

    family member or client from the dangers of falls with B-Better: Caregiver Guide to Preventing Dependents' Falls. This free online course will equip you with tools to prevent slips and trips:

    Better Bones & Balance® |

    The BBB classes are designed to gradually improve balance and strength to avoid falls and maintain independence. \"Better bones are a bonus\"

    says Associate Professor Kathy Gunter

    Ph.D. \"Most fractures occur from a fall. If you avoid the fall

    chances are you won't experience a fracture.

    The Better Bones & Balance Program ® (BBB) is based on research (PDF) from Oregon State University's Bone Research Laboratory. Study participants who performed balance and strength exercises using weighted vests reduced their rate of hip bone loss and reduced their risk of falls. All of the study participants were post menopausal women.

    BEPA Toolkit | GROW Healthy Kids and Communities

    The BEPA Toolkit provides educators with materials and activity ideas that can be used in and outside of the classroom and before

    during

    or after school to increase children's physical activity time at school. BEPA represents an evidence-based

    behaviorally focused program that seamlessly integrates the components of energy balance: healthful eating and physical activity.

    About the Project

    Many risk factors have been associated with children being overweight or obese

    including rural residency. Attributes of the rural environment make it difficult for children to access and eat healthy foods

    minimal/no provision of health and physical education by certified teachers

    and few resources to support health and/or enrich the academic environment.

    The Hallie Ford Center

    as a part of Oregon State University and Extension

    develops research on physical activity and nutrition for all ages. \n\nOne of the programs I work for is called Better Bones and Balance®. Based on research done at Oregon State University's Bone laboratory

    an exercise program was developed to aid post menopausal woman with bone density and muscle growth. Last year

    I helped organize

    prepare

    and host the Better Bones and Balance® training for certification as I will do in september of 2014 as well. I also help in the development of the Better Bones and Balance materials (DVD

    Registration forms

    booklets) and website.\n\nThe second program I work for in the Hallie Ford Center is called GROW Healthy Kids and Communities. Through Grant funding

    we have developed an educational exercise and nutrition curriculum for rural area elementary schools all over Oregon. GROW HKC also finds resources for these schools that help support healthy activity in the community and home environments in addition to the school environment. \n\nThis Friday

    March 14th 2014 We will be breaking ground at one of our elementary school for the 500th elementary garden in Oregon!
